Overview

The Mazak VCN-570C is a mid-large vertical machining center that bridges the gap between the compact VCN-530C and the full-size VCN-700. With axis travels of 1,270 x 570 x 510 mm (50 x 22.4 x 20.1 in), the 570C provides nearly 10 inches more X-travel than the 530C while maintaining a BT 40 spindle platform optimized for speed and versatility.

The standard BT 40 spindle turns at 12,000 RPM with 22 kW (30 hp), offering a useful power bump over the 530C's 18.5 kW. A 15,000 RPM high-speed option is available for shops that split time between steel and aluminum. The 30-tool arm-type ATC delivers fast tool-to-tool changes, with options up to 48 tools for higher-mix applications. The extended X-travel opens up longer workpieces, multi-part fixturing, and large mold plates that push the limits of smaller VMCs.

The machine is built on Meehanite cast iron with a wide-base C-frame column and roller guides on all three axes. Ball screw core cooling paired with Mazak's THERMAL SHIELD system manages thermal displacement during long production cycles. The table measures 1,500 x 570 mm (59.1 x 22.4 in) with a load capacity of 1,500 kg (3,307 lb), comfortably supporting heavy steel fixturing.

The MAZATROL SmoothG CNC handles conversational and G-code programming with built-in 3D simulation. The VCN-570C competes with the Okuma GENOS M660-V, Haas VF-4, and DMG Mori CMX 800 V. New pricing runs $145,000-$185,000, positioning it as a step up from the 530C without the jump to the VCN-700's larger footprint.

For shops that find the VCN-530C too short on X-travel but do not need the VCN-700's full 60-inch reach, the 570C hits a productive middle ground with enough table length for most job shop and production applications.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1,270 mm (50 in) X-travel provides 20% more reach than the VCN-530C for longer parts and multi-part fixturing
22 kW (30 hp) spindle is a meaningful step up from the 530C's 18.5 kW for heavier cutting in steel and cast iron
1.3-second tool-to-tool arm-type ATC keeps cycle times competitive on complex multi-tool programs
15,000 RPM spindle option enables high-speed aluminum work alongside general-purpose steel machining
1,500 kg table load supports heavy fixtures and tombstone setups without exceeding capacity
THERMAL SHIELD with ball screw core cooling maintains accuracy through long unattended production runs

Limitations

BT 40 taper limits heavy tool clamping force; shops needing BT 50 should look at the VCN-535C or VCN-700
Starting at $145K, it costs $20K+ more than the VCN-530C for 8 additional inches of X-travel
Larger footprint than the 530C requires more floor space without the full capability jump of the VCN-700
MAZATROL SmoothG control has a learning curve for Fanuc-trained operators, typically 1-2 weeks to get comfortable

Best For

Job shops machining medium-to-large steel and aluminum parts that exceed the VCN-530C's 41-inch X-travel Mold and die shops working on mold plates and frames in the 40-50 inch range Production shops running multi-part fixtures where the extra table length eliminates setup changes Shops needing a Mazak-quality VMC in the 50-inch travel class without stepping up to the VCN-700's size and cost Aerospace job shops machining structural components and brackets in aluminum and steel

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What does a Mazak VCN-570C cost new?

New VCN-570C machines run $145,000-$185,000 depending on configuration. Adding the 15K RPM spindle, expanded 48-tool magazine, through-spindle coolant, and probing pushes into the upper range. Used units from 2013-2019 sell in the $65,000-$100,000 range.

02 How does the VCN-570C compare to the Haas VF-4?

Both offer about 50 inches of X-travel. The VCN-570C provides faster tool changes (1.3 sec vs ~4.2 sec), higher spindle speed options (up to 15K RPM), and the SmoothG control. The Haas VF-4 costs significantly less (around $75K-$90K). The Mazak wins on production speed and surface finish; the Haas wins on purchase price and lower service costs.

03 Should I buy the VCN-530C or VCN-570C?

If your parts and fixtures fit within 41 inches of X-travel, the 530C saves money and offers the same spindle options. If you regularly work on parts or fixtures in the 42-50 inch range, or if you run multi-part setups, the 570C's extra travel pays for itself in reduced setup time.

04 Does the VCN-570C support 4th-axis rotary tables?

Yes. The 1,500 kg table load and generous Y-travel accommodate rotary tables for 4th-axis work. Mazak offers factory-integrated options with direct SmoothG control, and third-party rotary tables can also be installed.
